quoting strings

[Michal Duda]

Hi,

is any equivalent to perl "quotemeta" function in python?


I know that I can use this on string: r'\\test'
but I need to do this on the variable

Thanks in advance

Michal

s = re.escape(s)

your example is a string literal, which isn't really the same thing as
a RE pattern in Python.
